When using \sustainOn and \sustainOff to make piano pedal marks,
the "Ped." glyph and the "*" glyph (which has less height) are
drawn with the tops vertically aligned. Is there a way to align
them at the baseline without manual overrides on each \sustainOff?
If any developers are reading, I propose that this should be the
default behavior anyway...
\version "2.11.57-1"
\relative {
c'\sustainOn^\markup default
c\sustainOff c2
c4\sustainOn^\markup desired
\once \override Staff.SustainPedal #'Y-offset = #-0.45
c\sustainOff c2
}
Thanks,
Mark
